AI Job Summary

This fully remote Education Recruitment Consultant job offers an experienced education recruiter the opportunity to take over an established Primary and SEND desk covering North London.

Offering up to £40,000 basic salary plus uncapped commission with OTE of £65,000+, you’ll inherit existing school relationships, active business and immediate billing opportunities rather than being expected to build a completely new desk from scratch.

The agency is also an approved supplier on GCA Lot 1 and 2, an important advantage as the new framework becomes increasingly relevant across education recruitment.

You’ll work predominantly from home while regularly getting out across North London to develop relationships with schools, academy trusts, candidates and other education decision-makers.

The Opportunity

This is a strong opportunity for an experienced education recruiter who wants more flexibility without taking a backwards step in terms of desk potential, earnings or career prospects.

You’ll take responsibility for an existing Primary and SEND recruitment desk across North London.

There are already schools, client relationships and active business within the territory.

Your job will be to protect and develop those relationships, increase the amount of business generated from existing accounts and continue opening new opportunities across North London.

You won’t be expected to spend several days every week travelling into an office simply to sit behind another desk.

Instead, you’ll be trusted to manage your territory remotely.

However, this is still a relationship-led recruitment role.

You’ll need to be visible within your market, visiting schools, meeting decision-makers, developing new business and meeting candidates when appropriate.

You should expect to spend time out across North London typically at least once per week, with the rest of your working week based from home.

Inherit a Warm Primary & SEND Desk

One of the biggest attractions of this opportunity is the existing business.

This isn’t a cold start.

You’ll inherit an established Primary and SEND desk with active school relationships and immediate billing potential.

That gives you the opportunity to begin generating commission quickly while still having considerable scope to develop the territory further.

The desk covers both mainstream Primary education and SEND, giving you access to a broad client and candidate market.

Typical recruitment requirements could include:

* Primary Teachers
* SEND Teachers
* Teaching Assistants
* Learning Support Assistants
* SEND Support Staff
* Early Career Teachers
* Specialist Education Professionals
* Long-Term Education Staff
* Permanent Education Staff

You’ll manage existing requirements while continually looking for opportunities to increase the agency’s share of business within current accounts.

You’ll also develop new schools and academy trust relationships across North London.

GCA Lot 1 and 2

A major commercial advantage attached to this opportunity is the agency’s position as an approved supplier on GCA Lot 1 and 2.

The new framework represents an important development within education recruitment and provides schools and academy trusts with an approved procurement route when sourcing education staff.

For an experienced Education Recruitment Consultant, this gives you another strong commercial advantage when developing your territory.

You’ll be able to use the agency’s GCA Lot 1 and 2 status when approaching new schools, developing existing accounts and having more strategic conversations with Multi Academy Trusts.

Framework access can be particularly valuable when dealing with organisations that have formal procurement requirements.

Rather than simply approaching schools as another recruitment agency, you’ll have an additional route for discussing how they procure temporary education staffing.

For recruiters who understand the importance of frameworks, PSLs and procurement within education recruitment, this should create significant opportunities.

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll take responsibility for developing the North London territory as your own business area.

Your responsibilities will include:

* Taking ownership of an established Primary and SEND recruitment desk.
* Managing existing school relationships across North London.
* Increasing revenue from current client accounts.
* Developing new schools and education clients.
* Building relationships with Multi Academy Trusts.
* Visiting schools and meeting clients face to face.
* Developing relationships with Headteachers, SENDCOs, School Business Managers and other education decision-makers.
* Using the agency’s GCA Lot 1 and 2 position to support business development.
* Filling temporary, long-term and permanent education vacancies.
* Building relationships with Teachers, Teaching Assistants and SEND professionals.
* Identifying additional opportunities within existing accounts.
* Negotiating commercial terms where appropriate.
* Maintaining a strong pipeline of future client and candidate activity.
* Managing your desk against agreed revenue and growth targets.

Fully Remote Education Recruitment

This is a genuinely fully remote / home-based position.

There is no requirement to commute into an office several days each week.

For an experienced education recruiter, that can make a substantial difference to both working flexibility and the amount of productive time available during the week.

You’ll still need to live within sensible travelling distance of North London because you’ll be expected to develop your territory properly.

The flexibility comes with trust and responsibility.

You’ll manage your own diary and working week while ensuring you’re visible to clients and candidates.

Typically, you’ll spend at least one day per week visiting schools, meeting candidates, developing clients or attending relevant meetings.

The remainder of your working week can be managed remotely.

This should suit an experienced recruiter who values flexibility but understands that successful education recruitment can’t be run entirely from behind a screen.

Strong Support Behind Your Desk

Remote working doesn’t mean working alone.

You’ll have the infrastructure and operational support of an established education recruitment business behind you.

You’ll have access to established systems, candidate resources, compliance support and back-office assistance.

This allows you to spend more of your time doing what experienced recruiters should be doing:

Developing schools, strengthening relationships and generating revenue.

The structure is designed to give an experienced recruiter proper support without unnecessary micromanagement.

You’ll be trusted to manage your desk while having experienced people behind you when you need them.

Candidate & Compliance Support

Candidate availability and compliance are critical within both Primary and SEND recruitment.

You’ll have support around candidate attraction, registration and compliance, helping maintain a strong pipeline of education professionals for your schools.

Safeguarding and compliance are treated as fundamental parts of the recruitment process.

This is particularly important when supplying staff into Primary schools and SEND settings.

Having proper support behind the desk also means less time becoming tied up in administration and more time available for client development, candidate relationships and revenue generation.

Who We’re Looking For

Previous education recruitment experience is essential.

This isn’t an entry-level recruitment opportunity.

You need to understand teacher supply and already know how to manage relationships with schools and education candidates.

You could currently recruit within:

* Primary Education Recruitment
* SEND Recruitment
* Secondary Education Recruitment
* Teacher Supply
* Education Support Recruitment
* A Mixed Education Desk

Direct Primary or SEND experience would be advantageous, but experienced education recruiters from other teacher supply specialisms can also be considered.

The important thing is that you already understand the education recruitment market and can independently manage a recruitment desk.

What Will Make Someone Successful?

You’ll probably suit this opportunity if you:

* Have a proven background in education recruitment.
* Have previously managed your own recruitment desk.
* Understand the teacher supply market.
* Can demonstrate a history of billing and developing business.
* Are comfortable taking over existing school relationships.
* Enjoy developing new clients.
* Are confident meeting schools face to face.
* Can manage your own diary effectively.
* Are comfortable working from home.
* Don’t need somebody constantly checking your activity.
* Understand that remote working still requires accountability.
* Want autonomy rather than micromanagement.
* Understand the value of framework and PSL access.
* Are comfortable developing relationships with senior education decision-makers.

Salary & Earning Potential

Basic Salary: Up to £40,000

OTE: £65,000+

Commission: Uncapped

Because you’re inheriting existing business rather than starting with a completely cold territory, there is the potential to begin generating commission considerably quicker than you would on a traditional start-up desk.

You’ll have immediate business to work with alongside considerable scope to increase your earnings by developing existing accounts and winning additional schools.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

There are plenty of recruitment jobs offering some form of flexible working.

Far fewer combine:

* Fully remote working
* An established warm desk
* Existing school relationships
* Primary and SEND recruitment
* Up to £40,000 basic
* £65,000+ OTE
* Uncapped commission
* GCA Lot 1 and 2
* Strong operational support
* Regular client-facing work
* Freedom to manage your own territory

You aren’t sacrificing an established desk to gain remote working.

You also aren’t being offered remote working simply because somebody wants you to develop an entirely new territory from nothing.

You’re inheriting genuine business while still having plenty of scope to grow it.

Framework access gives you another commercial route when developing schools and academy trusts. For an experienced recruiter, this can provide an important advantage when dealing with organisations operating formal procurement processes.
